<p>Which would be most likely to learn the “essential lessons” mentioned in line 51?</p>

<p>A. A class setting out on a field trip
B. A young athlete playing on a soccer team
C. A small child attempting to roller-skate
D. A bear defending its young
E. A kitten playing with a ball of string</p>

<p>So I realize that the question is asking about interaction among other animals but shouldn’t it also involve learning from pain? Like it mentions a sentence or so before line 51? I chose C since it would involve a child that might learn about its physical limitations from pain…but why is the answer actually B?</p>

<p>It’s true that a child might learn about dealing with pain from learning to roller-skate, but roller-skating is a solitary action, whereas the case with the animals involved interaction among multiple animals. A child playing soccer is a better answer because it involves interaction with other people, and soccer also has a good potential for causing injury.</p>
